Ta-da list (thanks to FlyLady)

Here are the things I have already accomplished in the garden:

1. Removed 2/3 of the hated bramble. This is what is left of it:


2. Bought 2 rosemary shrubs and planted them in terracotta pots

3. Bought a copper-flowered witch hazel, Hamamelis x intermedia 'Jelena'

4. Ordered three roses from the David Austin website: Gertrude Jekyll (pink), Zephirine Drouhin (pink, thornless), and Ferdinand Pichard (pink striped). All scented. And all pink. I'm not a great fan of pink, actually, but I want the garden to be restful, so only calm colours. Pink, purple, white. Some blue. Hmm, I may need a white rose too, but a scented one, not Iceberg which is otherwise beautiful. More research is needed...

Here are a few pictures of GJ roses from my previous garden:

To do list

1. Finish removing the bramble

2. Measure future paved area and calculate how many paving stones are needed

3. Dig the horseshoe border and add soil improvers

4. Measure for trellis around the bin area and on the garage wall

5. Buy paving stones and coarse sand

6. Remove turf, lay down sand and paving

I can do all of the above, though I will expect help with #6. I just wish it weren't raining! But this is Sparta, I mean London...
